RANDALL, JOHN WILLIAM, D.D.S., M.S Bay City, MI John Randall left his earthly life on April 11, 2014 after a courageous battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was born on March 25, 1932 in Port Huron, MI to the late Robert "Scotty" and Betsy (Harcus) Randall. He was 82 years old. John was a committed Christian who faithfully served his church, Westminster Presbyterian of Bay City, for 49 years. He leaves behind his wife, Judy (Semmer); and two children, Susan (Greg) VandenBosch and Bill (Tara) Randall; and sister, Iris MacDonald. Also surviving are his three grandchildren, Gerrit and Grace VandenBosch and Brady Randall. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother, David (Barbara) Randall. His memory will be cherished by many in-laws, nieces and nephews. Upon completion of dental school at the University of Michigan, John had the privilege of serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He went on to study Orthodontics at Northwestern University and maintained a practice in Bay City from 1965-1998. He enjoyed every day that he worked and loved using his hands to create many beautiful smiles. His Port Huron upbringing sparked a life-long love of the ships of the Great Lakes. He spent 11 years seeing the world from the bow of a ship as a U.S. Steel Merchant Marine. He was a student of boats, often identifying a far offshore ship just by the shape of its smokestack. He went on to study and teach celestial navigation and boating safety with the Saginaw Bay Power Squadrons for many years. He was so grateful for his retirement time spent exploring the North Channel by boat with family and friends. In addition to his love of water, John cherished any time spent out of doors. Working in the yard, hunting for deer and duck, ice-fishing with dear friends in the U.P. were a few of his favorite pastimes. He delighted in the changing of the seasons, the beauty of the Michigan woods and his beloved hometown of Bay City. John was not only a hard worker but was also incredibly generous in the most quiet and unsuspecting ways. He was fiercely committed to creating a life around the things and people that he loved. He was truly an uncommon man - a good man. His funeral service will take place on Tuesday, April 15, 2014 at 10AM at Westminster Presbyterian Church (103 E. Midland Rd., Bay City) with the Rev. Matthew Schramm officiating. Burial will follow at Elm Lawn Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to a luncheon immediately after burial at the Bay City Country Club (7255 3 Mile Rd., Bay City). In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Westminster Presbyterian Church. Visitation will be held Monday, April 14, 2014 from 2-4PM and 6-8PM at Penzien-Steele Funeral Home (608 N. Madison Ave., Bay City).
